Road to Phandalin

Otrov laughs at the Elk. “Well, I only got a half body!  Ooh you’re good Elky. Say,” Otrov whispers conspiratorially, “do you know where the cool, shiny stuff is around here?”  

Margret thinks about suggesting to Otrov via the elk that if she kisses the Tiethling he would tell her but the moment gets the best of her

She starts with a giggle then bursts out laughing

"I'll take it you are staying for the night then. Corwin will have the dinner ready in about an houre. You can use the guest house for the night. Look at it as a thank you for clearing the forrest of an anoyance. Just send me a message how it turned out aftetward. You also said you meet a dragon, maybe we can talj about that later at dinner. Usualy those beasts are trouble. "

Otrov saunters up to the sampling of a human, “Hey, you know, we’re both pretty good shots it seems. See this?” She takes out the manticore spike and brandishes it proudly.  “Yep, I took down this one a couple days from here. Anyways, one professional to another, any pointers?  Or ideas about outfitting my cloak so I’m a bit sneakier it harder to see?  I think you’re a bit more advanced than me, you being older and such.”  Otrov tries to flutter her eyes like she has seen Margret so with great success. 

"Uh.. well, w-we'll certainly try. Th-the message thing, once all is done. Though, it is more likely you find out by things getting quieter in terms of, uh, goblin activity in the area." Nobody weakly smiled. "B-but thank you all the same for allowing us to stay." On that note, he steps back and waits to be directed to the guest house, having had his focus to divided to pay it much mind on the way in. If possible, for the remainder of the evening, Nobody would be content to stay quiet and too himself even when with others dining; leaving the task of explaining the dragon to those with a more hands-on approach.

That, and he'd spend as much time as he could continuing his studying of the alchemy book.

Margret nods to Falcon 

"Thank you. And the Dragon was trouble to say the least."

then studies the map more then directed she heads to the guest house and looks to get cleaned up to look more presentable

for dinner

Dain thanks their host and retires to the guest house.  He would attend dinner, but would be otherwise studying his spellbook.

Relgalyn would enjoy as much good food and drink as available, and then retire for the evening.

Kai would give a gracious nod to their host and enjoy their meal with the others, generally quiet unless spoken to. She would then look into a form of a bath and, if available, slend a short amount if time freshening up before retiring to bed for the evening, almost meditating for an hour or so (potentially changing up spells) before falling asleep. 

Zurzg devours all meat in front of him, and starts looking at other people's plates for spare scraps.  He eyes a potato suspiciously, popping it in his mouth and immediately spitting it back out onto the floor, wiping his tongue with his hands and loudly proclaiming the vileness of the thing.  Once back at the guest house, he retrieves a blanket from his backpack and curls up in a corner of the floor with it, making whimpering and growling sounds in his sleep.

The guesthouse is nothing fancy, but it is clean, warm and dry and there are 5 bunkbeds with decent mattresses and 2 very large beds wich are made extra sturdy. After an hour you return to the main house and dinner is served. Some bread, game sausages, hard cheese, whine, dried fruits, butter. Nothing speacial, but everything is of good quality and tasty. Somehow there is only water close to Otrov.

You have a good dinner and Falcon and Corwin are pleasant hosts. They are sharing hunting stories and answer your question to the best of there abilities.

A young boy joins you and he is introduced to you as Pell. He looks after the stable and the animal pens. He is unable to speak though.

After a nice dinner, one by one you retire for the night to the guest house. Nobody is one of the first to excuse himself to read his books. ( you manage 2 more hours)

The next morning you get up early and Corwin has some porridge , dried fruits and nuts prepared for you. Falcon joins you and wishes you a good hunt before you depart. (everyone gets a long rest)

Do you want to do anything before you leave and who leads the travel through the forrest (survival). What is everyone else doing?

I'll let the dice decide... :)

Survival: 5

Zurzg again volunteers his services as an expert guide and scout, and for a second day, at least initially, begins to lead the group on a merry dance after every squirrel and bird in the forest.

Dinner______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Margret talks with the two feeling right at home.

"Yes those Dragons are pretty smart, it attacked with the sun at its back trying to get the drop on us. It caught Miss Kai over there, Me and Dain with its breath. But we survived, between our bows and Dain, mine and Nobody's magic. It found out we were not easy pickens"

She sips on some wine but doesn't  over indulge.

Pell_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

She turns her attention to the boy and quietly aske's him 

"Do you want to learn a magic trick? I'll try and teach you how to speak in another"s mind"

Survival 22

Nobody is content to play the observer card. He will help however he can wants the group is back on the trail again, but otherwise tries to avoid being too underfoot in his lack of experience of things. Ultimately, this usual just results in him having to chase down Zurzg whenever one of his potential catches might lead him well beyond sight of the others.

Noticing that Nobody is apparently well read and not taking an active role in the navigation, Relgalyn will walk next to him, regaling him with the musical theory behind his out of tune lute, "As I'm sure an intelligent person such as yourself is aware, there is a theory that all of creation is made up of, created by, or somehow supported by a 'perfect harmony'. Many people have searched for it over the years, but no one has ever been able to find it. I, myself, spent the last two decades isolating myself to try and find it. Unfortunately, I'm still looking. An unexpected side effect of my search though, was to find a way to disrupt the harmonies of the world by playing a particular counter harmony. Not simple discordance or disharmony, but a very deliberate counter. And by playing this, I've found a number of unusual ways to shape the world around me, you see..." This would continue, with great detail, much repetition and occasional examples, until either they found their destination, or someone stopped him.

Dain would cast guidance on whomever does end up leading the group.

he would fall back to a rear guard position himself though, navigating after all is not his strong suit.

Nobody is at first confused by Relgalyn. Not so much in the theories he delivered or discoveries mention. But in fact, they didn't exactly hit things off well their first meeting. That said, unless given reason to suspect over time some ulterior motives to conversing with him of all peopl,e the tiefling certainly doesn't stop him. If anything, he capitalize on any small but necessary breaks Relgalyn would have to make to breathe to offer his two cents, and how it ties to principles of War, Abjuration, and even some Evocation magics. That, and his understanding of its deepness going so far as tie even into the make up of particular magical beings.

He himself knew of a house dedicated to exploring the somewhat biological aspects of harmony and discordance in hopes of undermining magical contracts, and even the removal of curses. In spite of opening up this way, Nobody is quicker to return to just being a sounding board for Relgalyn, finding the overall concept interesting, if not secretly fascinating.

Otrov will fall back with Dain, seeing the goblin take the lead. She’ll cover the rear, at times going wide to either side to scout a bit. 
Survival 7

Kai, feeling refreshed after last night's rest, will keep a general look out around the group, looking for any trouble or danger as she listens and smiles at the conversations around her.
